In an increasingly tech-enabled world, screens are often a part of daily life in many families with young children. But are all screens bad screens? Whether you're using screens for communication, education, entertainment or nothing at all, this conversation with pediatrician Ryan Padrez, MD, FAAP, will help you figure out what's healthy, appropriate and maybe even beneficial when it comes to screens for children ages 0-5.
What we'll discuss:
-
Understanding the latest news and health implications of screentime, age by age
-
Implementing screentime rules and strategies that you and your caregivers can follow
- Creating a healthy relationship with screens for your whole family
